Persona K: Episode 1: I've Finally Arrived...

Welcome to the first episode of my Persona fan fiction. This is a series about kids overcoming issues placed upon them through life. I'm also to making this series to prove to all the adults are there that think "kids have no problems", we do.

"On my way home, back to the U.S.A," Tahg said, "just wish this plane ride was quicker." Tahg is on a plane ride back to America after spending the last 6 years of his life in Japan. Tahg had always dreamed of being an idol so he went to Japan for 6 years to train. He built himself a mini fortune in Japan but he's only 12 so its not that much. Now he's a C-level idol on his way to the top in the American charts. "Only 6 more hours to go, might as well take a nap." As Tahg fell into sleep, a mysterious voice began to ring in his head.

"Free yourself from the chains of society's grip," the voice said. It was quite bewildering to Tahg what he said but Tahg was never one to dwell. He merely went back to sleep and began to have an odd dream. He was standing behind a stage waiting to go on. In his normal idol gear he was ready to rock the house. But as he looked on to the stage he saw another boy that looked just like him. He began to sing a song that made Tahg want to cry, Deep Sea Girl , a song that wraps up Tahg's social life in a cinch. It pained Tahg to hear this song especially when it got to the end. In an act of desperation he ran out onto the stage and told the imposter to just shut up.

"Shut up you idiot!"

"So you don't accept me?"

"What?! I don't even know you so why would I even think of accepting you!"

"You actually do know me far to well, after all I am you."

"How is that?"

"I'm your shadow. I represent every single thing you refuse to accept about yourself," Tahg couldn't believe what he was hearing let alone did he want to accept it," I represent your depression and dire need for an end. You want everything and everyone to end just so you can be happy. So you block out most things wrong with your life and just falsely yet nonchalantly accept them with a mere 'okay'. It's all an act and you know it and when your not blocking everything out your forcing yourself to take everything with a smile. Never saying 'no' or even trying to come up with an excuse."

"Shut up."

"Still not gonna to accept this?"

"Shut up!"

"Can't handle the mere inevitable truth?"

"SHUT UP!"

"Are still going to deny what we really are?"

"SHUT UP YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD! YOUR ARE 100% NOT ME!"

"Hahahahahaha! Finally you said it know I'm free. I can finally be myself." The "shadow" as, Tahg figured he was called, began to laugh uncontrollably. A thick blue smoke engulfed the entire stage, making it almost impossible to see. When the smoke finally cleared there stood a huge monster with a jail-type chain on his neck stuck to a wall. He had a microphone stuck in his mouth and black and white clothes that would appear to be untouchable.

"You ready to die?"

"Get away from me!"

"Now, now this simply won't do." Neither Tahg or the shadow said this and both were confused and puzzled. Who said it? A young girl in a blue frilly dress came from behind Tahg.

"I'll explain everything later. Just for now remember this. Think about everything this thing is saying. Is he really that far off from your feelings?" This made Tahg think. He might actually be telling the truth. Just as he began to think these thoughts he noticed the strange girl was kicking the monster's but. She had made the monster quite weak.

"I've done my current objective, now it's time for you to do yours." The girl just walked away and off into the distance. Tahg knew what he needed to do as he looked at that thing on the ground.

"Let me help you up," Tahg grabbed the "shadow's" hand and pulled him up, "I finally realize it. Everything you said was true. I know I have a bad habit of letting things go. I often never do anything when I'm bothered often due to a fear of making things worse. It's time that I actually face difficulty head on and stop isolating myself from problematic situations. Thanks," The shadow stood there speechless. Knowing he had nothing to say Tahg ran up and hugged him, "after all, you are me." A smile appeared on the shadows face and he flew into the air. His entire body turned a bright almost blinding yellow. A transformation seemed to have occurred. The light figure began to spread wings. A microphone appeared in his hand. As the light figure began to solidify clothes came on to him. He had on black kitty T.U.K boots, Skinny red jeans, and a black and white shirt.

"Mm-Hmm," the girl in the blue dress came back. She seemed ready to say something, " 'You have obtained the facade used to overcome life's hardships', your persona Asclepius of the Sun arcana."

"Persona?"

"My master will explain it all but before--"

"YOUR MASTER?!"

"Yeah, what of it?"

"Aren't you like nine?! Why do you have a master?!"

"First of all I'm 12, just like you. Second of all my name Ellie. Third my "boss", if that makes you feel more comfortable, will explain everything. Now hurry up and follow me!"

"Okay, I'm coming!"

Finally I got this out! It took forever but I finally finished it. Hope you enjoyed.
